Anchor Drilling Fluids USA, Inc.
(A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of ADF Holdings, Inc.)
and Subsidiaries
Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the
Years Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, and
Independent Auditors’ Report
























INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Board of Directors
Anchor Drilling Fluids USA, Inc.
Tulsa, Oklahoma

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Anchor Drilling Fluids USA, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of ADF Holdings, Inc.) and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, owner’s equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Anchor Drilling Fluids USA, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Anchor Drilling Fluids USA, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Description of Business

Anchor Drilling Fluids USA, Inc. (Anchor or the Company) provides integrated fluids management and customized drilling fluids and related services solutions to the U.S. domestic oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) industry, principally in the Mid Continent, Permian Basin, North Texas, South Texas, East Texas, North Louisiana, Arkansas, Appalachian and Rocky Mountains. The Company is headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma and has various sales offices and operating locations serving the E&P industry in its principal market areas.

Anchor is a wholly owned subsidiary of ADF Holdings, Inc. (ADF). A group of former and current Anchor debt holders own the controlling interest in ADF as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 (see note 12).

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates and Market Risks

Operating results for the Company and its operating subsidiaries are dependent in large part on oil and gas drilling activity levels in the geographic markets that the Company serves. This activity level, in turn, depends on oil and gas commodity pricing, demand levels and overall global and U.S. inventory stocks of these commodities.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates used in preparing the consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the following: sales returns, allowance for doubtful accounts, future cash flows used for impairment testing of long-lived assets, including goodwill, and reserve for inventory valuation to lower of cost or market.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition are considered cash equivalents.

Allowance for sales returns

The Company provides for estimated customer returns of unused materials related to fluids services operations. The allowance is recorded based upon historical customer return levels and estimated gross profit levels attributable for in-process projects.

Receivables and allowance for doubtful accounts

Accounts receivable include unbilled receivables, which represent revenues earned in the current period but not billed to the customer until future dates. In general, the completion of a specific services project triggers billing to the customer within one to two months after the receivable is recognized. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, unbilled receivables totaled approximately $15.9 million and $13.0 million, respectively.

Reserves for uncollectable accounts receivable are determined on a specific identification basis when the Company determines that the required payment of specific outstanding amounts owed will not be collected or collection is judged to be highly unlikely.


1


The majority of revenues are from mid-sized domestic E&P companies or divisions of international E&P companies. Changes in the financial condition of customers could cause customers the inability to pay these receivables, resulting in additional allowances being recorded.

Inventories

Inventories, primarily composed of finished goods purchased from third parties, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Inventory cost is determined using the weighted average method. Inventories typically consist of chemicals, barite, bentonite, other clays and liquid drilling fluids utilized in the oil and gas drilling process. Reserves for inventory obsolescence are determined based upon the fair value of the inventory using factors such as historical usage of inventory-on-hand, future expectations related to customer demand levels, market conditions, and potential technical obsolescence of products currently in use.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Additions and improvements that extend the useful life of existing assets are capitalized at their actual cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The recorded cost of property, plant and equipment sold or otherwise disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the property and accumulated depreciation accounts, and any gain or loss is credited or charged to income.

Depreciation is provided on property, plant and equipment by utilizing the straight-line method over the following estimated useful service lives:
 
Life
 
 
Owned buildings
27-39

Warehouse and plant equipment
3-15

Autos, trucks and trailers
3-7

Office furniture and equipment
3-7

Leasehold improvements
2


Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of the Company over the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets of the Company at the date of a prior reorganization. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight line basis over the asset’s estimated life.

Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually as of December 31, or more frequently, should an indication of impairment exist. The impairment tests include a comparison of the carrying value of net assets, including goodwill, of business units with their estimated fair values, which the Company determines using a discounted cash flow approach. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, an impairment charge is recorded in the period in which such review is completed.

The Company reviews property, plant and equipment, finite-lived intangible assets and certain other assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. Recoverability is assessed based on estimated undiscounted future cash flows for significant tangible assets or asset groups.     Should such review indicate that the carrying value of assets is not fully recoverable, the amount of impairment loss is determined by comparing the current carrying value to the estimated fair value.

Debt Issuance Costs

Direct costs related to issuance of debt are capitalized and amortized to expense on a straight line basis over the term of the related debt. When a loan is paid in full, or if a loan commitment is withdrawn, any unamortized issuance costs are charged to operations. Capitalized debt issuance costs at December 31, 2013 and 2012 totaled $0 and $0.9 million, respectively. The total amounts of debt issuance costs charged to expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, were approximately $0.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively.


2



Revenue Recognition

Liquid systems revenues are recognized when consumed at the customer site during the drilling process. An allowance for product returns is maintained, reflecting estimated future customer product returns. Services are provided at agreed-upon daily or activity rates, and revenues are recognized when services are performed, including water disposal activities.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company reduces deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance when, based upon estimates, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of those assets will not be realized in a future accounting period. The estimates utilized in recognition of deferred tax assets are subject to revision, either up or down, in future periods based on new facts or circumstances.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, which eliminates certain diversity in practice on financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefits. Unrecognized tax benefits are an entity’s reserve for future tax contingencies and liabilities based on an entity’s expectation of additional tax expense that may arise from the resolution of such contingencies and liabilities. The amendments are effective beginning in 2015 for nonpublic companies. Although early adoption is permitted, the Company has not adopted this ASU in the current year and is currently evaluating whether the adoption will have any material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-03, Clarifying the Scope and Applicability of a Particular Disclosure to Nonpublic Entities, which clarifies that all nonpublic entities are exempt from the requirement to disclose fair value hierarchy levels (Level 1, 2, or 3) for items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position but for which fair value is disclosed. Contrary to the intent to exempt all nonpublic companies, an earlier ASU No. 2011-04 had inadvertently failed to exempt from scope companies have total assets of $100 million or more or that have one or more derivative instruments. ASU No. 2013-03 clarifies that all nonpublic companies are exempt from those specific disclosure requirements. The adoption of this ASU did not have any material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE

Effective January 1, 2012, the Company entered into a joint venture with a major supplier of barite to establish and operate a new limited liability company, C&A Grinding, LLC (C&A) for the purpose of owning heavy equipment used in the production of drilling grade barite, a major component of drilling fluids. The Company and the supplier have equal ownership in C&A and profits and cash distributions will be allocated to the owners in equal shares. In connection with the formation of C&A, the Company made capital contributions totaling $2.75 million during 2012 and the supplier contributed tangible assets with a deemed value of $2.75 million. Contemporaneously with the formation of C&A, the parties signed agreements whereby 1) C&A purchased certain barite production assets from the supplier; 2) C&A leased those assets back to the supplier for an initial term of 12 years, subject to additional renewals; 3) the supplier will sell to the Company up to 50% of the finished barite produced by the assets over the same term as set forth in the equipment lease, subject to no minimums, at market prices; and, 4) the Company leased certain space in a building owned by the supplier for the purposes of materials handling and inventory storage, also for the same term as set forth in the equipment lease, at an annual rental of $120,000. In connection with the leased equipment, at the end of the lease term or following default by the Company of any of the various agreements, the supplier has the option to purchase the equipment, effective as of the last day of the term of the lease or the date of such a default, whichever is applicable, at the lesser of the then current book value as determined under generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied or the then appraised value of the equipment.

The Company accounts for its investment in C&A under the equity method of accounting. The carrying amount of the Company’s investment is equal to its underlying equity in the net assets of C&A.

During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company purchased approximately $16.35 million and $15.0 million, respectively, of finished barite from its C&A venture partner. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, payables related to these purchases were approximately $4.8 million and $4.3 million, respectively.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement among ADF, Anchor and various financial institutions as the Lenders provided for a Term Loan facility, a Senior Term A note facility and a Senior Term B note facility of approximately $9.0 million, $10.5 million and $75.2 million, respectively. The Term Loan and the Senior Term A note facility were fully repaid in 2011. The Senior Term B note facility originally was to mature on December 31, 2013, however in May, 2013 the Lenders extended the maturity date to March 5, 2014, and in January 2014 the Lenders further extended the maturity date to June 5, 2014.

In 2011, Anchor and a lending group entered into the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement, (the Revolver), that provided, with certain restrictions under a borrowing base of receivables and inventory, a credit facility of approximately $30.0 million of which up to $10.0 million may be utilized for letters of credit. Effective June 25, 2012 the Revolver was amended to increase the borrowing limit to $45 million, with a further increase to $50 million available if certain leverage conditions are met. The interest rate under the Revolver is calculated at an Alternate Base Rate, as defined, plus 1.5%, (the Domestic Rate Loan), or at the option of Anchor at a Eurodollar Rate, as defined, plus 2.5%, (the Eurodollar Rate Loan). Any disbursements or payments related to letters of credit are deemed to be Domestic Rate Loans under the Revolver. Letters of credit that have not been drawn upon bear a fee equal to 2.50% of the amount available to be drawn plus a fronting fee of 0.25%. The Revolver was originally to terminate on September 30, 2013, however in May, 2013 the lending group extended the maturity date to January 31, 2014, and in January 2014 the lending group further extended the maturity date to April 30, 2014. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Company to Calumet Specialty Products Partners, L.P. were used to retire the Revolver on March 31, 2014 (see note 12).

The Revolver contains certain covenants normal and customary for lending facilities of this nature which include a requirement to maintain an amount of excess liquidity as defined, a limit on capital expenditures to prescribed amounts, a restriction on the payment of dividends, a restriction on the creation of additional indebtedness and a requirement to provide to the lending group certain financial information on a annual, quarterly and monthly basis.

Proceeds from borrowings on the Revolver were used to reduce the amount owed under the Senior Term B note facility by $7.5 million during 2012.

With certain restrictions, all debt is due at maturity with no fixed amortization.

As of December 31, 2013, the Revolver and Senior Term B note facility had outstanding balances of approximately $35.9 million and $72.1 million, respectively. Interest on substantially all debt is payable quarterly at the Eurodollar Adjusted Rate, as defined, plus an applicable margin. At December 31, 2013, interest rates for the Revolver and Senior Term B note facility were 2.75% and 11.25%, respectively. At the election of the Company, a portion of the Senior Term B note facility interest, as defined, may be added to the debt principal balance (the PIK Interest). PIK Interest added to the Senior Term B debt principal for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $0.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains financial condition covenants that require the Company satisfy the following financial ratios as of December 31, 2013:

In addition to these financial condition covenants, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains additional covenants that require maintenance of a minimum prescribed liquidity and allow for, but limit, the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness and liens, pay dividends and make capital expenditures. At December 31, 2013, management believes the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants, terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

The Senior Term B notes are collateralized by a security agreement under which substantially all assets of Anchor, including receivables, equipment, inventories, general intangibles, investments and real property are pledged as collateral.

At December 31, 2012, the Company had various vehicle loans totaling approximately $284,000 which had maturity dates ranging from July 2013 to October 2015 payable to an automobile credit service company. During 2013 the Company paid these loans in full.

For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, net interest expense was approximately $9.3 million and $9.6 million, respectively.

Accounting Standards Codification 740 requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred asset will not be realized. In making this assessment, management considers pending transactions, scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, level of historic taxable income, tax planning strategies and projected future taxable income. Based on the assessments conducted, the Company concluded that no valuation allowance was necessary at December 31, 2013 or 2012.

There have not been any material changes in the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, during the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company’s open tax years that are subject to examination are 2010 through 2013. Management does not currently anticipate that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months.
